I really thought I was going to love this one more than I did. I thought the summary was interesting, the writing is easy to get into, but plot got slow and I struggled to keep the story straight because my eyes would wander. This is a story I might try to pick up again later

I really loved this story, cover to cover. The characters are real, with lots of personality and well developed. The plot seemed simple on the onset, but had lots of depth, full of secrets, lies, romance, family, and self discovery. Highly recommend for all readers looking for a great story.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

‘Spilling the Tea’ by Brenda Jackson reads like a Harlequin romance novel. Many characters and past events mentioned that made it somewhat confusing and especially difficult to follow the story line. Unfortunately not a story for me.

This is a novel that reads like a soap opera. There were far too many characters and family member names dropped. It didn't add to the plot and actually weighed things down.. The romance aspect ran from typical Harlequin to borderline crude. I was glad to finally have gotten through the book. I don't really recommend it. unless you are a fan of romance novels that tend toward rose-colored trite plots sprinkled with PG as well as R sex.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and heartwarming romance. The story centers around Chance Madaris, who defies the odds after being told he'd never walk again, and Zoey Pritchard, a woman searching for answers about her past. Chance's great-grandmother, Mama Laverne, plays a significant role in bringing them together with her matchmaking skills, though it's clear Chance isn't thrilled about being a part of her plans.
The chemistry between Chance and Zoey is undeniable, as they experience both intense dislike and attraction from the moment they meet. I loved watching their relationship evolve, especially with the added mystery of Zoey's past. The mix of romance, family dynamics, and a little bit of intrigue makes for a delightful read. Mama Laverne's meddling only added to the charm, and it made for an entertaining, feel-good story that was a pleasure to read.

I really enjoyed this book. It was heartwarming and romantic. I loved how the ending turned out. This makes me glad to read a book by Brenda Jackson,partly because I love her books, and partly because someone I loved passed away and they were a fan of Brenda Jackson's. By reading her books it's a tribute to them. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

Zoey es una mujer que busca información sobre sus padres y su pasado, ya que los perdió en un terrible accidente automovilístico en el que ella también perdió la memoria y no tiene recuerdos de ellos. Para lograrlo, descubre que la matriarca de la familia Madaris podría tener información. Sin embargo, para acercarse a ella, deberá soportar al gruñón nieto de la matriarca, Chance, quien desconfía de todos y no le pondrá las cosas fáciles.

No estoy segura de qué número es este libro, pero por lo que pude ver, hay más de 20 sobre los Madaris. Se mencionan muchos personajes y eventos pasados que pueden resultar confusos para aquellos que no hemos leído los anteriores.
